Human Evolution - From Fossils to Ancient and Modern Genomes Hybrid conference Dates and location: 28-30 April 2025, Wellcome Genome Campus, UK (near Cambridge) Our 4th conference on human evolution will highlight emerging archaeological discoveries and advances in genetic tools that are transforming the field. This event is aimed at population and evolutionary geneticists, archaeologists, palaeontologists, primatologists and medical geneticists with an interest in human evolution. This year's meeting will feature sessions on the deepest roots of human history, highlighting methodological advances in studying human evolution and showcasing the latest tools and techniques in genomic analysis and ancient DNA. The programme will focus on the population structure of ancient humans and will explore how early human populations migrated, adapted to diverse environments, and interacted with other hominin species. We will also delve into past human diseases, discussing the host-pathogen co-evolution and their impact on genetic diversity. The attendees will participate in a dynamic programme that includes invited talks, short oral presentations, poster pitch talks and posters selected from abstracts. This setting will foster high-level discussions and networking opportunities, encouraging new collaborations across disciplines.
